Wouldn't it be more correct to say for engine inoperative operations....
It would, but in my defence I didn't claim to be giving chapter and verse from the FCOM - I did say in response to the OP (because I don't know his/her knowledge base ) "I'll paraphrase/simplify for now"...
extricate - since it seems you haven't got access to the FCOM are you able to give us a clue as to what level you're working at - e.g. flight simmer, or somebody coming up for the rating?
MCT is set manually? If so, how? or by the A/T?
The 777 is "full time autothrottle", so,
and again paraphrasing/simplifying if the autothrottle is servicable and armed it sets the thrust in response to e.g. MCP selections, FMC selections, TOGA switch operation, etc etc..
